Window previews are not horizontally centered in their context menus

[Michal Predotka]

Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome Shell with Communitheme, also checked with default theme.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open 2 windows of the same application (Terminal in my case)
2. Left click on the icon in the dock and notice how the previews of app's windows and the close button are positioned
3. Click somewhere to close the previews
4. Right click on the icon in the dock
5. Select "All windows" and notice the slight difference in the positions of previews and close button

Thanks for opening this bug and help making ubuntu better.

Indeed, the bug is in Dash to Dock itself, do you mind reporting it upstream? https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues

I checked that maybe theming could workaround this, but I think it's better to directly get it fixed upstream so that with upstream GNOME Shell theme, this is fixed as well.

I've reported it here: https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues/823
Not hoping for a fix as I see there's hundreds of open issues :/

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 20.04.1 with the default theme and having the same issue, except my issue is more squashed to the left. I uploaded a screenshot to the bug I filed that was marked as a duplicate here: bug #1886268 https://launchpadlibrarian.net/487131442/Screenshot%20from%202020-07-04%2014-54-32.png

People are discussing the issue on Stack Exchange here: https://askubuntu.com/q/1183065/10857 with the following answer fixing the issue for most people: https://askubuntu.com/a/1232740/10857.

I've also added my screenshot to the dash-to-dock github.

Is there no way to patch this in the user styles? Or is the issue due to the fact that some elements are being removed from the DOM?

I have tried using fix provided by @hazrpg (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/1768543/comments/5) at the https://askubuntu.com/questions/1183065/windows-not-aligned-properly-in-the-preview-in-dock-on-ubuntu-19-10/1232740#1232740 and it was fixed.

Hi there,

I can confirm that running a "not very elegant" solution from here - https://askubuntu.com/a/1232740 is working on Ubuntu 20.04.6 for the dash-to-dock extension.
